Description
The facts in this appeal are virtually undisputed. On or about December 27, 1978, plaintiff appellant, Patricia Yeend, in the course of her employment with defendant respondent, United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS), slipped and fell while delivering a package and sustained injury to her back and shoulders. Appellant telephoned her employer, UPS, at the Coeur d'Alene office and informed an employee of the accident and the severe pain she was suffering. The employee stated that he would try to locate the UPS manager, defendant respondent Clement, and directed appellant to call back. After approximately twenty minutes, appellant again called UPS and was informed that respondent Clement had instructed appellant to continue her route. Appellant attempted to resume her route but, unable to make deliveries, once again called the UPS office. Respondent Clement, again via an employee, instructed appellant that she must continue to drive on her route, but sent another employee to carry the packages for her. Appellant applied for and received certain workman's compensation benefits, including temporary total disability payments and medical expense payments for the physical injuries she suffered in the accident. In her affidavit she stated that she HAS NOT filed an application for workmen's compensation benefits with the Idaho State Industrial Commission for the severe emotional distress and pain and suffering that she suffered when she was forced by her employer . . . to continue working . . . .
